Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

So anyway, how in the heck do I get rid of this file? I've got plenty of space on the disk, but it ticks me off, plus it gets written into the backup every night which is stored on another server via nfs, which causes excess network traffic and hogs space on that box as well. If anyone can point out hoe to make this gone, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

I could have used that -- option a while ago. I was struggling with the same problem. I managed to delete the file by logging in through ftp and then giving the delete command. But using the -- would have been a nicer way to do things.
Always so much to learn about linux.
